Well realistically there was never really a competition, the choice was either the Barista or remaining alone. She never really went for the artist, there was one moment with one of his paintings that she seemed to "feel something" but that didn't go anywhere.Two guys competing over a girl who can’t make up her mind about them seems to be part and parcel of teen fiction these days.
The only one "competing" with the Barista was Weds own strong instinct to remain alone.
